I WONT MILLION - Page 4 - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

Ummm, right... Stars have been promoting these tournaments with ads like "Qualify now for as little as 100 FPP!!" And when someone does exactly that, they should assume something shady must be going on?

What makes this the most amazing for a rando, micro grinder to win this was the amount of sick MTT players that were in the field! There were a ton of winning high stakes MTT regs playing, then when it comes down to FT table deal: "I WONT MILLION" That phrase will go down as the best deal phrase of all-time! PStars customer service retrieved a Russian translator in <5min, that seemed suspect...

I'm not usually a fan of the micro reg Russians, but no one can deny this as one of the top online MTT stories of the year (so far). While watching the live stream on QJ, I felt that if this goes HU... HE WON(T) MILLION

Sheesh, ok... Normally when a losing microstakes player jumps into a WCOOP ME his chances are prob < mirrion-to-1 to make the FT, never mind take it down. He enters tourny from 100fpp satty...

Do I need to continue? Probably since you didn't get it the first time...

Rather than taking the T$, he makes highly risky decision (i.e. russian roulette, and since HERO is Russian seemed fitting). Then when it comes to FT deal he gets lucky in a spot (go figure) collects some chips of the CL just prior to deal making time.

Then the infamous phrase heard throughout the poker community:

"I WONT MILLION"

Was that explained well enough?

I dont think getting a russian translator is suspect at all.

Pokerstars is a huge site.The have hundreds of staff on hand that need to be fluent in many languages.Im sure at all times they must have someone who can speak every language on the site.Especialyl when the biggest tourny of the year is on.
